Antonov apples

The first Russian Nobel laureate, poet and prose writer, unsurpassed master of words, Ivan Alekseevich Bunin always remained aloof from fashionable literary trends and became a classic during his lifetime. Ruthless truthfulness was combined in his work with subtle lyricism and the desire to capture the fleeting, elusive beauty of the world in all the diversity of its colors, smells and sounds, which make us feel life more fully and raise exciting images of the past from the depths of memory. This edition presents prose works by Bunin, addressed to the theme of Russia, estate and peasant, in which the author tries to understand the mystery of the Russian character and draws “the Russian soul... its light and dark, but almost always tragic foundations.” The collection includes the stories “Village” and “Sukhodol”, which brought the author wide fame and put Bunin among the first writers of our time, as well as the stories “Antonov Apples”, “Pines”, “Zakhar Vorobyov”, “Night Conversation”, etc.
